Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking
statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to various risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without
limitation, risks relating to: entering, maintaining and renewing major
distribution agreements; WWE Network (including the risk that we are
unable to attract, retain and renew subscribers); our need to continue
to develop creative and entertaining programs and events; the
possibility of a decline in the popularity of our brand of sports
entertainment; the continued importance of key performers and the
services of Vincent K. McMahon; possible adverse changes in the
regulatory atmosphere and related private sector initiatives; the highly
competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of the
markets in which we operate and greater financial resources or
marketplace presence of many of our competitors; uncertainties
associated with international markets; our difficulty or inability to
promote and conduct our live events and/or other businesses if we do not
comply with applicable regulations; our dependence on our intellectual
property rights, our need to protect those rights, and the risks of our
infringement of others’ intellectual property rights; the complexity of
our rights agreements across distribution mechanisms and geographical
areas; potential substantial liability in the event of accidents or
injuries occurring during our physically demanding events including,
without limitation, claims relating to CTE; large public events as well
as travel to and from such events; our feature film business; our

and regulations; a possible decline in general economic conditions and
disruption in financial markets; our accounts receivable; our
indebtedness; litigation; our potential failure to meet market
expectations for our financial performance, which could adversely affect
our stock; Vincent K. McMahon exercises control over our affairs, and
his interests may conflict with the holders of our Class A common stock;
a substantial number of shares are eligible for sale by the McMahons and
the sale, or the perception of possible sales, of those shares could
lower our stock price; and the relatively small public “float” of our
Class A common stock. In addition, our dividend is dependent on a number
of factors, including, among other things, our liquidity and historical
and projected cash flow, strategic plan (including alternative uses of
capital), our financial results and condition, contractual and legal
restrictions on the payment of dividends (including under our revolving
credit facility), general economic and competitive conditions and such
other factors as our Board of Directors may consider relevant.
